I use an Incredible 2 on CDMA (Reliance) in India.
Except the China Telecom ROM's v2.13 & v3.06, I haven't come across any other ROM (including this one) which supports specifying APN's in CDMA mode with the option PPP phone number. Consequently, I'm unable to use any other ROM to get data in CDMA mode with OMH sim card.
Is there a way to add this functionality to any ROM (CDMA APN with PPP phone number option and Usage of OMH sim card) by flashing few extra packages along with the rom?
Example: as we install radio package on evo 4g.
Dear Admin,
Please move this thread to right forum if I have posted my question in a wrong place.
Thanks,

Just want to give back the favor, Because of XDA developers i was able to UNLOCK & ROOT my AT&T HOX+
I'm Posting here how i was able to ENABLE MOBILE TETHERING using AT&T stock ROM ( did not change anything, still using original rom)
My HOX+ software info:
Android Version: 4.1.1
HTC Sense Version: 4+
Software Number : 1.19.502.1 710RD
HTC SDK API LEVEL: 4.63
Kernel Version: 3.1.10
Your AT&T HOX+ should be:
1. Unlock ( network unlock)
2. Rooted
3. Apps : SQLITE EDITOR ( this is paid apps)
Here' how i was able to MOBILE Tether using T-MOBILE Network ( able to save money by switching from at&t, no contract)
1. I setup the TMOBILE APN {settings/ Mobile Data/ Access Point Names}
2. Then open SQ LITE EDITOR
3. Go to APPS Tab
4. Look for DIALER STORAGE \ carriers
5. Now look for your TMOBILE APN ( normally its on the bottom of the list)
6. Make sure to copy the NUMERIC & MCC & MNC
7. Then scroll up look for line " ENTITLEMENT" ( PICK ONE)
8. Edit the NUMERIC & MCC & MNC to match T-MOBILE APN ( dont touch the rest of the column)
9. Hit exit or BACK, it will save what you did.
10. See screen shot #1 how it looks like
11. Turn on Mobile Tether ( should have a good network signal, i notice if there are none it stop to tether) I'm using HTC BUILD IN mobile tether no other 3rd party apps needed to do this.
12. See picture # 2 , showing you proof it tether using T-Mobile network
Optional Procedure ( you dont have to do this): To force TETHER your phone by altering HOTSPOT ON from value 0 to 1 (SQ lite editor: Setting Storage\system\ ). Then restart the phone, it will automatically activate MOBILE Tether. See picture #3
DISCLAIMER: I did everything above, and it mobile tether my phone without any hardware effect. I'm still using AT&T STOCK without flashing any ROM. The only thing i did was to modify the ENTITLEMENT area of the phone. I wont be responsible if you do anything and your phone got brick, you know thats always the risk in modifying any phone.
It Works!!!
Hi,
Thank you for the info. I've tried it and tested it, and I can confirm that it works.
It needed 2 tries for me though, had to restart. Probably due to the value stored in cache.
It's works for Brazilian Carrier Vivo!
Hi all,
Thank you for the info. I've tried it and tested it, and I can confirm that it works.
In from Brazil and changed the T-Mobile data for Vivo (BR Carrier) and it's is working, I was trying to solve this issue and now I'm very happy.
My HONX+ is an AT&T rooted.
*** SOLVED, see third post ***
Hello, I'm trying to use my VWZ Note 2 on MetroPCS.
I'm rooted, stock 4.4.2.
When I use the buildprop edit suggested here, my "add access point names" menu disappears entirely:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...41691-mod-add-apn-editor-system-settings.html
If I remove the buildprop code, I get the menu back, but I can't edit anything.
I pushed my own version of "apns-conf.xml" to /sdcard/ and then pasted it into /system/etc/ and replaced the old one, changed permissions to read-only. Also tried read/write all permissions open.
I can now click the "+" button in the APNs screen. I can add/save APNS, but when (and only when) I have ALL of the correct APN info put in, it instantly deletes the APN I've added. Up to that point I can save the APN, see it in the APN list, and edit it further.
I restart phone, the APNs are all gone except the grayed-out "LTE - Verizon Internet".
I got an app to read the APN settings from the SIM card itself (the one I'm already using on my metroPCS phone). Interestingly, these are the networks on the SIM card:
T-Mobile US
Simple
StraightTalk T-Mobile
solavei
T-Mobile LTE
Added both of the T-Mobile APNs, which did save to my access point names, but no network still.
Then I realized that I am a monumental idiot. I put the SIM back in my old metroPCS phone and got the APN settings from there. For future use, here they are:
Name: MetroPCS
APN: fast.metropcs.com
MMSC: http://metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
APN protocol: IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Let's try putting those in my note 2. Why the heck I didn't try this sooner is beyond me.
Still nothing, "No signal." Also, "SIM from unknown source."
EDIT: As I suspected, the APN settings weren't being saved to apns-conf.xml in system/etc/
So I pulled, edited, pushed my new version of apns-conf.xml to have the correct metro pcs settings, put it back in system/etc/, set the correct permissions (read-only for the system).
Now I have the MetroPCS access point name, it matches apns-conf.xml, but still no connection.
I think I'm about out of options.
SOLVED.
If mod wants to truncate this into one post total, that's cool.
My process to get MetroPCS working on a VZW (Verizon) Note 2.
1: Root it
Get ghettoroot 2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2924899&d=1409874318
Download android SDK
Set environmental variable for adb commands. Note that you add the command after whatever is already in "path" variable, with a semicolon between: http://jaxov.com/2010/10/set-up-adb-on-windows-7-vista-xp-for-android-phones/
Uninstall any samsung stuff, especially KIES. Then install samsung drivers: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I605TSAVZW
Ghettoroot your phone. You'll need to enable usb debugging, under developer options. How to enable developer options: System settings > about phone > Build number. Press "Build number" like 7 times or so and it will unlock dev options.
Now we need to do some APN settings. Follow this for the method, rest of this post for the info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044449
APN info (if value not shown, leave blank/default):
Name: MetroPCS
APN: fast.metropcs.com
MMSC: http://metropcs.mmsvno.com/mms/wapenc
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri,*
APN protocol: IPv6
You'll want to have those settings both in the apns-conf.xml, and in the More Settings>Mobile Networks>Access point names
Activate your phone with MetroPCS.
Remove "Unknown SIM card" notification: Long press the notification to figure out which app is creating it (app info), then use titanium backup to uninstall it.
I have read and read i am having issues now since the sim message is generated by tbe system ui i cant kill this is in the verizon note 2 when i install the sim it force closes everything any thoughts would be great.
Ugh. Try doing a factory reset and starting over.
Make sure you use TitaniumBackup to uninstall (preferably freeze if you own pro) the app that's causing the SIM message. You must be rooted of course. Not sure why things would force close, you might have got rid of wrong system app.

If you are rooted, install Root Explorer, open it and click on the r/w at the top , navigate to the app folder, find the setup wizard folder and delete it. Restart phone and the message will be gone!
Hi guys
Does anybody knows an alternative way to unlock gsm on the VGN2 with 4.4.2?
Looks like lots of people are still having issues with T-Mobile Data and/or Outgoing SMS so I hope this helps. If I'm posting improperly I apologize.
1. Obtain root!
2. Open your apn settings(settings-->more networks-->mobile networks-->apn settings) create a new apn with the following properties
Name: T-Mobile
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: blank
Username: blank
Password: blank
Server: blank
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: blank
MMS Port: blank
MMC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: not set
APN Type: Default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPV4/IPV6
(leave all other settings default)
3. Press the menu button to save, press back and select the new apn.
4. Open Advanced signal status app(linked below) and click additional info(if you get an error install the supersu.apk, also linked below) then try again.
5. Open phone information (option 1) and change the SMSC number to +12063130004 and change network mode to GSM auto(prl) click update.
6. Open the dialer(like you're going to make a call) tap the menu button and select "Call Settings", and then "Voicemail Settings". In the text field that pops up enter +18056377243.

What ROM are you using? Some variant of stock?
I'm having calling issues in the various CM versions I've tried.
edit - the GSM version of the GPE ROM works fine though. Flashed it with Danvdh's VZ kernel.
Originally on stock of1 but just flashed stang5litre but the method worked on both.
So I have to root to get MMS on to get the VZW S4 to work on T-Mobile correct?
So if I follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/samsung-s4-i545-verizon-of1-root-t3254434
I should be able to jump right in to your guide?
Trying to get a phone for my Mother-in-law and don't want to spend a ton(and she won't)!

Yes sir!
I get a screen which says "Device Locked". the message goes on to explain this is likely because the phone has been locked down by manufacturer (carrier?) and even rooted devices can have problems due to SELinux restrictions.

If you see that message it's because the su binary is not high enough. Install the apk in the same folder that is linked in the OP, open supersu and update if needed then try again after rebooting.
Thanks. I got it to work. Looks like the SMSC number needs to be re-entered after each reboot and texting doesn't work in LTE mode, but looks easy enough to toggle back and forth when necessary.

Glad it's working for you. I haven't experienced the rebooting problem though. Do you have any other network apps that may be auto setting the smsc number at boot?

Yeah I have the same problem of having to re-enter the SMSC number after every reboot too and I'm not sure of the culprit. Would love to know if there is a way to permanently change this so I don't have to fiddle with it every time

Check under your mobile network settings, make sure network mode isn't set to global. It should say gsm/umts. You may want to re apply settings after changing modes. I noticed the global setting screwed up my tmobile settings so hopefully it's related to your issues.(fingers crossed)

I followed your guide for my dad's verizon s4 but I am running into some problems.
I rooted it following the root guide linked earlier in this thread and root is successful. SuperSu is installed and root checker verified.
However, in my APN settings, under APN Type, i have to manually type in "Internet+MMS", and the under APN Protocol, the only choices are ipv4, ipv6, ipv4/ipv6.
Also, when I open the advanced signal status app, do i select the LTE/GSM (PRL), is that what you meant?
edit: even just selecting GSM auto (prl), i still cant get 3g, 4g, or LTE. Only edge.

Having to manually enter your apn type is normal. I have "internet, mms, supl" typed into mine. The problem you are having with the app being locked is because your version of the su binary isn't correct. Install the supersu app that is included in the OP. Before doing anything else you will need to open the newly installed supersu app and allow the binary to update. After it has updated immediately reboot and it should no longer be locked. Also back under the APN settings, don't mess with the ipv4/ipv6 settings. Just leave them at default.
When I get to APN protocol, it's not giving me the option "WAP 2.0".... Only IPv4, IPv6, and then IPv4/IPv6.
Also not giving me the option to save the newly created APN. What to do next?

Sorry about the APN, I copied it but didn't proof read.
I have mine set to IPV4/IPV6. To save the APN you need to press the menu key then select save.

At the bottom of the tutorial is a link to a google drive folder with two apk files. Download them and open them on your phone to start the install. After installing "supersu.apk" click open and accept the upgrade, click normal when asked what method to use then reboot when it prompts. The lock will be gone.

Great, thanks alot man that actually worked perfectly. Another question though... so in order to do what we just did, You have to have absolute root access to your phone right? i opened a terminal emulator app and notice that i still have the dollar sign on the command line. But when i run "su", it has the hash symbol which i'm assuming means i'm root now or at least have root privileges. Shouldn't i have had the hash symbol as soon as i started the emulator? does this mean my su binary is still not high enough?
I spent hours trying to get my APN editing when I did a factory reset on my Nexus 6p. Android 8.1 made editing APNs a royal pain if you are using a CDMA carrier. There are lots of threads spread around on getting Total Wireless, Tracfone, and other carriers working form MMS and internet. A lot of the solutions I found worked most of the way but I needed tethering and finally rooted to be able to edit and get tethering.
The options I have found are
Root your phone and do some SU commands
Pop an alternate carrier sim in and edit the apn (I have not been able to fully test as I don't have an alternate sim)
Use adb to open the apn add dialog while the sim is ejected (result does not allow tethering but local data works)
1) Have a rooted phone. Place phone in airplane mode. Enter the commands shown in <brackets> (don't include the <> symbols). Open a command prompt and enter <adb shell>. Get a su prompt by entering <su>. Modify the verizon apn to point to the correct apn server <content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --bind apn:s:"TRACFONE.VZWENTP" mmsc:s"http://mms.vtext.com/servelets/mms" --where "name='Verizon'"> Your data and mms should start working and tether should work as well.
2) Use a T-mobile, AT&T or similar sim and enter the total wireless (or MVNO settings of your choice) APN settings. Remove alternate sim and insert MVNO sim. Go to APN settings and select the new APN.
3) Have your screen unlocked on your phone. At a shell prompt enter <adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.INSERT content://telephony/carriers --ei simId -1> Enter the MVNO APN settings found on google and save. It may give an error if you enter DUN profile. I was not able to get tether to work this way so I used method 1.
Feel free to add other methods that work. Make note of the software version you are utilizing.

Well I have to eat crow. I thought this was working great but I can either have tether or mms but not both. Method 3 allows MMS to work but not tether. Method 1 allows tether and data to work but not MMS!!!!!
